An IPL match may be decided when the ball passes inches beyond the grasp of a fielder on the boundary or when a direct hit catches a batsman inches short of the crease. ”

Every wicket you play on is different. ”

I believe I am strong mentally. My breaking points might be bigger than most players. I think it's because of the way I grew up with my two older brothers. They pushed my limits quite often - once every day, I think! I think that played a big role in my breaking point being bigger than most players. Not all players. ”

I truly believe that players who tell you they don't feel the pressure of international cricket, of being away from home for months at a time, are lying to everyone and themselves. ”

Nothing comes close to the IPL, to be honest. ”

You represent your country - that's the biggest honour ever. I had the privilege of doing that for more than 14 years. ”

I don't overthink things. ”

I don't really like attention too much. ”

I prefer to be out of the spotlight, to be honest. I've always been that kind of personality. ”

I do enjoy fielding. ”
